Kingston University Offers Students Enterprise-Class Tools Through New Portal Solution

Overview: Kingston University is spread over several campuses in southwest London. It gained full university status in 1992. The student population, many of whom live at home, is just over 17,700. The university was reliant on an ageing e-mail messaging system and disparate solutions for handling and storing documents. It wanted a new solution to reduce administration costs and enhance collaboration. Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Silversands worked with Kingston to deliver a complete collaboration environment for staff and students with Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005.
